Levemir (Insulin Detemir (Vials)) and Potassium Chloride Injection Concentrate
Determining the interaction of Levemir (Insulin Detemir (Vials)) and Potassium Chloride Injection Concentrate and the possibility of their joint administration.
In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.
Consumer:Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:Limited data suggest that potassium repletion may partially or completely reverse glucose intolerance in some patients with liver cirrhosis. The effect of insulin may be potentiated, and the risk of hypoglycemia increased. The mechanism by which potassium improves glucose tolerance has not been established, but it apparently does not involve a further increase in the already excessive insulin secretion associated with cirrhosis. The implications for glucose intolerance in patients without liver cirrhosis are not known.
